Interval Time
Expand the Interval field by clicking the triangle
(Fig. 208). An
Interval Time
is a potential time
interval between the end of one cycle and the
beginning of the next cycle. The time and time unit
for the delay time is set using the slider or input
box of
Interval Time
. A cycle interval time is not
effective if a cycle delay time is defined, since the
interval time is always included in the delay. A total
of six different delay times can be defined by
adding further lines clicking on the
+
button.
Clicking the
–
button deletes the currently
highlighted delay time. Each delay time can be
controlled using the
Trigger
In
function.
(For a detailed description on the trigger use and interface see printed manual CHAPTER 4: ANNEX).
The trigger can be selected from the
Trigger In
pull down menu. Up to 4 triggers are available. If no
trigger is set the highlighted delay time will be effective for the time series acquisition. Additionally it is
possible to send a trigger signal out using the
Trigger Out
pull down menu at the start of each delay
time. Up to 4 Triggers are available.
Please note that Interval Time does not work with external triggering! So what is described in the
next section is possible to select and to execute, but will not work.

section, where all saved timer
configurations are displayed. To search for a timer configuration, type in its name or part of its name in
the

field and only those timer configurations will be listed that contain the typed in string of
letters.
To delete a timer configuration press the

button (symbolized by the
